Tis the Season for Dry Skin
Looking Good Sugar!!



The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Scrub

Since fall is officially here it's now time to get a jump start on beating seasonal dry skin,  before it begins.  For soft smooth skin exfoliating and moisturizing is very important, also stay hydrated  by drinking plenty of water.  Our skin needs conditioning, If you have dry skin you must have a consistent regime of slothing off the dead skin (exfoliating) and replenishing it with oils, butters or creams.  I love sugar scrubs because they are gentle non- abrasive exfoliants that do not sting or burn.  Sugar scrubs are gentle enough to use daily without stripping or breaking the skin down too much and sugar does not draw moisture away from the skin like salt does.

 I'm very excited that fall is here, the cold crisp mornings make me feel refreshed and alive!  I have always noticed for me during this time of year, my skin seems to require a lot more moisture.  I'm a firm believer in natural oils, I use them in my daily shower or bath.  After bathing I continue the moisturizing with a vitamin rich infused butter. This one is almost gone because I use it daily!   I love the clean slightly sweet aroma of the Green land Fruit Extracts Apple body butter with natural fruit extracts.  In the Shower/Bath I use Dr. Teals bath & body Oil

D.I.Y Milk Bath

D.I.Y Fresh Lavender & Orange Milk Bath


Nothing beats a nice hot soak in the tub after a long hard day. This easy D.I.Y milk bath brings the Spa home to you in your own bathroom. This milk bath was so easy to make and knowing what all of the ingredients are gives me great comfort.  While working in Washington over the summer my BFF visited the world famous Lavender fields. I was so excited when she brought me back a bundle of fresh Lavender.  I decided to put some of that wonderful fragrant lavender to great use today by creating a milk bath.  I had some essential oil (fresh orange) in my medicine cabinet and decided why not mix the lavender and orange together.  The combination was simply wonderful my entire house smelled incredible after I got out of the tub.  The holiday's are right around the corner this easy DIY Milk Bath would make a wonderful crafty gift for a teacher, family & friends or a neighbor.  Get creative stay inspired!

SHIKAI Shower Gel
Honeysuckle

  I was in one of my favorite natural food stores when a gorgeous woman with an amazingly B-tiful complexion was purchasing about 15 bottles of this Organic Shower Gel.  As the checker continued to ring the woman up, she explained that this was the best shower gel ever it's all natural, organic and the best part on SALE!!  I personally have never heard of the brand but since it was on sale and she was buying practically all of them, I thought hey I'll give it a try too!  It's a good thing I went over there quick because she only left like 3 bottles lol!!  So I took the rest of them!!  Boy am I glad I did... this stuff amazing it's called SHIKAI All Natural moisturizing Shower Gel.  It's a rich aloe & oatmeal combo to soothe dry skin... not only is it gentle (great for sensitive skin and kids) It is also soap free!!
